Can you make a buyers guide on what to look for like sections of frame or components that break or get damaged when people sell these that must be looked at and known about the cars? Maybe even price points of what to expect for each price point of the market. $4,000 to $6,000, $6,000 to $10,000, $10,000 to $17,000
I can for sure look into doing something like that! It may take me a while to get all the info I need/want to go over that, but that’s definitely something I can look at doing.
Yeah, we changed oil every two races when we knew that we were taking the car back out. But running such a short schedule for us meant we didn’t have to do it as frequently as some. Definitely was not stoked to see the number at almost $24k, but it’s better than some!
How much More room does the Big Boy conversion give you ? I am considering selling my car due to lack of space . I am 6, 2 and 225 pounds it's kind of a safety issue because my head basically hits the bars and I look like a Accordion in the car pretty uncomfortable. Do you guys know any other Bigger taller Drivers ? I really really love racing these cars so I'm trying to make it work 🤷
All the dudes I know that are 6’ and taller all have big boy chassis. I definitely enjoy the extra space available and definitely suggest doing it if you can.
It seems like without mechanical knowledge this probably isnt an option. I think the 4 cylinder route would be better for someone not mechanicly sound.
Mechanical knowledge is helpful, but not necessary. It’s no different to running a 4 cylinder though. The 4 cylinder route can be a better option for some, but there’s a lot less pieces to a legend car than there is to a production car.
@@treychastain4686 we definitely made a few mistakes in our first year. If I had to suggest anything, it would be to avoid the 1250, unless you really want to continuously spend money on the electronics for that motor.
@@treychastain4686 I hear you, INEX has definitely moved away from the “budget option” for racing. It’s still one of the cheaper options when compared to late models or modifieds though. Racing is just expensive in general unfortunately.
I’m not sure how long they’d last if you ran every weekend. It also definitely depends on how many laps you run per event and how hard you are on them. I’ve got about 14 nights so far on my left side tires, but only have about 6 or 7 on my right sides currently.
Nice! We only have one track that runs these as a class here I Colorado. And I can’t take the time to travel everywhere else to run, nor the money of that kind of travel. We’re just a self-funded solo team that races when we can, but cool to see others that can make those kinds of numbers!

thanks! im looking into getting into one in about a year.
The first year is always the most expensive. Good luck!
I don't want to add up or think how much we spent on my son;s legend we race 18-20 races at one track so we do alot of oil changes Great content

Contact Rocket Garage and ask for Jimmy. He has a bad ass Legend car or can maybe help you with some stuff.
shaky cam makes my head hurt
Oops. Sorry, don’t have a gyro stabilizer.

@@RacingAndrewLee Thanks for the help . I will do some research and try to make something work 👍
@@cupwalker24.7 absolutely! Your local dealer will have all the info for conversion stuff too.

Nevermind getting into this...

@@RacingAndrewLee well this is supposed to be the most budget option to get into racing. I don't think I can afford to though. Maybe if I worked more.

How long do tires last if you race every weekend

@@RacingAndrewLee 6-7 races?
@@dil7580 yup, we just had someone win at our local track last night on 2 year old tires with 13 nights on the set.
@@RacingAndrewLee thanks alot
7 races is all?? We raced like 50 a year plus

New car is $18,900
That’s just for a basic car though. No safety equipment or “upgrades,” you can easily get up to 25k out the door
My budget was iracing 😅
I've definitely spent some money on iRacing as well lol. If we can keep this year's cost down, maybe we can get a better rig lmao
Need sponsors ?
Every racer will always need sponsors 😂
